14 Status LCD Controls
URSA Broadcast G2 status LCD controls
Still
Press this button to capture a still image as a single uncompressed DNG frame. Image
files will be saved to the ‘stills’ folder in the root directory of the media you are currently
recording to. These will follow the file naming convention for video clips but the
filename will have an ‘S001’ representing the ‘still number’ as the last four digits of the
filename. To confirm you have successfully saved a still, an image of a camera will show
in the top right corner of the URSA Broadcast G2 touchscreen, and the record indicator
on the status LCD will flash three times.
Hold
Use this button to temporarily hold the main status LCD timecode when the timecode is
in free running time of day code. The timecode will continue to run in the background
and return to its actual position when you release the ‘hold’ button. While holding you
can take note of the timecode for a particular event. This can be useful in electronic
news gathering or documentary situations for noting key timecode points.
Reset
The reset button allows you to reset the timecode to 00:00:00:00 when you are setting
your preset timecode.
Timecode
Press the ‘timecode’ button to toggle the main timecode display’s format between clip
duration and timecode. By default the timecode will be free running time of day code
as this is the most frequently used. If you press and hold the ‘timecode’ button for five
seconds it will switch the camera into record run timecode and the timecode generator
will flash as well as the first two digits of the large timecode display. This indicates that
you are now editing your preset timecode and allows you to set a specific timecode
number for your preset timecode.
Pressing ‘reset’ at this stage will zero the timecode and then you can turn and press
themenu wheel to set the desired value starting with hours, minutes, seconds and then
frames. When you are happy with the timecode, press and hold the ‘timecode’ button
again for three seconds to set this as your preset timecode point. You will notice that
the timecode generator now shows this value and will only increment when the camera
is recording giving you continuous ascending timecode values. To switch your
timecode back to free running time of day code, press the ‘timecode’ and ‘hold’ buttons
simultaneously for three seconds.
Bright
Press the ‘bright’ button to cycle through four brightness settings for your URSA
Broadcast G2’s LCD status display. The settings are ‘off,’ ‘low,’ ‘medium’ and ‘high.’
